Test Center Procedures and Regulations
The following procedures and regulations apply during the entire test session, which begins at sign-in, ends at sign-out, and includes breaks.
If you requested and received an authorization voucher from ETS, you must take it with you to the test center.
You will be required to write (not print) and sign a confidentiality statement at the test center. If you do not complete and sign the statement, you cannot test and your fees will NOT be refunded.
You will be required to sign the test center log before and after the test session and any time you leave or enter the testing room.
The administrator will provide you with scratch paper that may be replaced after you have used all pages of the scratch paper initially given to you. You may not take your own scratch paper to the test, nor may you remove scratch paper from the testing room at any time. Scratch paper is provided to assist test takers in working out problems and for appropriate note taking during timed sections of the test. Scratch paper should NOT be used during untimed sections or during breaks.
If you need to leave your seat at any time other than the break, raise your hand; timing of the section will not stop.
If at any time during the test you have a problem with your computer, or for any reason need the administrator, raise your hand.
Testing premises are subject to videotaping.
The GRE General Test includes an optional 10-minute break after the analytical writing section. This break time cannot be exceeded.
The maximum time allotted for the tutorial and/or other untimed sections prior to the test is 30 minutes. The purpose of the tutorial and/or other untimed sections prior to the test is to become familiar with the computer functions and other important information that will make your computer-based test experience as convenient as possible. The time you spend on the tutorial and/or other untimed sections should not be used for any other purpose. You may not use scratch paper during this time. Infractions will be reported to ETS, and the test administrator is authorized to dismiss you from the test administration if you fail to follow the test administrator’s directions.
Although tests are administered under strict supervision and security measures, testing irregularities may sometimes occur. Please contact us as soon as possible to report any observed behavior that may lead to an invalid score — for example, someone copying from another test taker, taking a test for someone else, having access to test questions before the exam, or using notes or unauthorized aids. All information will be held in strictest confidence.
